I suspect the problem is you are on lemmy.world and that has become the default instance so everyone is trying to duplicate Reddit on there. So your "all" is becoming the hellscape that was the Reddit front page (perhaps worse as there's no filtering algorithm).
Meanwhile, I'm on a smaller instance and my interactions with lemmy.world are through communities I have joined on here. So my "all" and subscribed feeds are fine.
So find yourself either a regional instance or one that reflects your interests and move there (there are scripts that will make this straightforward). You'll probably start enjoying the threadiverse experience again.
This is exactly why I started my own instance: I decided that I wanted the local and also possibly the all views to be something I wanted to read. The larger instances are just so big and generic that that isn't possible.
